Capturing the essence of a tech startup
What should this new entity be? As part of our fast concept-to-market approach, we developed a range of names, visual identities and personalities, then captured feedback from key demographics. The clear winner? The accommodating spirit of “Certainly.”
A less-is-more approach to site development
Following testing, Certainly was refined and expanded into a full e-commerce experience. Quick and easy by design, the site’s UX took users through a seamless and engaging quote process enhanced with customizable options and personalization.

Going to market in style
To get Certainly off to a fast start, our brand playbook offered a detailed blueprint for going to market successfully. Today, the company continues to thrive in the renters market and has even expanded into auto and small business insurance.
